Chapter 141: Rushing across the Sui River

7.141 Rushing across the Sui River

Most of the rebel troops on the river beach belonged to the 21st Division, the 27th Division, the 57th Army and the 110th Division. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and these troops are more or less related to Huang Haoran.

Among them, the 27th Division and the 110th Division both belonged to Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army, and Li Xianzhou's 21st Division was transferred to Tang Enbo's Corps instead of the 110th Division, and these troops were relied on by Huang Haoran in the Battle of Taierzhuang.

And the 57th Army. He also participated in the defense of Nanjing under the command of Huang Haoran, and after the old unit of the Northeast Army went to the 5th Theater, it fought several blocking battles, and now the whole army together cannot muster 10,000 people.

In view of the fact that the troops of the 2nd Army accounted for the majority, Huang Haoran decided to attack the 27th and 110th Divisions first! As long as these two divisions are mastered, the rebel army on the river beach will be reduced by half, and it will be much easier to deal with the remaining half when the time comes......

In the chaotic army, no one noticed that Huang Qiaosong, the commander of the 27th Division, and Zhang Zhen, the commander of the 110th Division, had converged in one place.

From yesterday to today, the Chinese army stranded at Suixikou has a total of 11 divisions and brigades of different formations, of which 2 are central divisions, and the other 5 divisions and 2 brigades are armies of local factions.

For a whole day, only the Central Army of the Banhe Division and some sporadic troops crossed the Sui River, and the rest of the other troops were still waiting to be crossed, so Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen had to find a way to save themselves!

There are pursuers in the back, and there are Japanese planes in the sky, so it's a blessing to stay in such a place for even a minute less!

In fact, after the initial chaos, the officers and men of the 27th and 110th Divisions have returned to order. The situation is much the same with the other miscellaneous armies.

Now the forces that are really out of control on the river beach are actually only two divisions of the Central Army. This has a great deal to do with the CMC's consistent strategy of managing the army.

Although the Central Army was superior to the troops of the local factions in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment. However, the senior officers of the Central Division are far inferior to the local troops in their ability to master the troops!

In order to prevent generals from supporting their own troops and forming factions, personnel transfers within the Central Army were very frequent. Officers often serve in this unit today and are transferred to another unit tomorrow, and the relationship between soldiers and officers is purely that of superiors and subordinates, and the ties between them are very loose.

Although this practice maintains the "purity" of the Central Army and reduces the possibility of generals degenerating into warlords, it will inevitably make the officers less attentive in controlling the troops, because as long as they spend some real money to get around, they can completely change their positions.

Although the equipment and personnel of the local troops are far inferior to those of the Central Army, the generals of the miscellaneous armies are much better than the Central Generals in mastering the troops! In the eyes of local generals, their troops are their everything, and their family background, as long as they have guns in their hands, they can be kings and hegemons wherever they go! Otherwise, it will be a complete failure!

To some extent, the local generals have put much more effort into controlling people's hearts than they have invested in running the troops! All of them are like old hens who watch their troops closely!

This time, the army was stuck at Suixikou, and the central army like the 21st Division was really in chaos! The troops that Li Xianzhou, the commander of the 21st Division, can really control at the moment should only be some troops directly under the division headquarters!

The old Northwest Army like the 27th Division and the 110th Division are very tough up and down, where will they easily disperse?

The reason why Huang Qiaosong, commander of the 27th Division, and Zhang Zhen, commander of the 110th Division, were unwilling to help the Central Army sort out the team was mainly due to two reasons!

First, it was because they were afraid that the troops would not be able to assemble after the Central Army was in chaos, and at that time they would only be able to cross the river sporadically one battalion and one company, and this would very likely make the various units of the Central Army, which had already suffered heavy losses on the other side, swallow up the reorganization.

The miscellaneous military gates did not dare to assume the responsibility of losing a few whole divisions of the Central Army to the Japanese, and they were unwilling to turn back and fight to the death with the Japanese army to break off the Central Army. So they can only disguise themselves as being in chaos and gather by the dock to wait for their chance!

The second reason is that it is a bit vindictive! Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen felt that the reason why their 2nd Group suffered more than half of the casualties in Taierzhuang was all due to Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps! Now seeing that Li Xianzhou's department, which belonged to the 20th Army Corps, was in chaos, Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen were full of schadenfreude! It's too late to be happy, so how can you help?

The two divisions of Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen had already secretly reached an agreement in private, and the swirl of human heads on the river beach seemed to be irregular, but in fact it was clearly demarcated! The officers and men of the two brother divisions, the 27th and 110th Divisions, had quietly controlled most of the crossings, while the 21st and 57th Armies and other local units were forced to the periphery. The wooden boats crossing the river were full of officers and soldiers of the 2nd Army!

Until several units of the 2nd Army completed the river crossing, Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen planned to dominate the dock all the time!

***************************************************

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't stand in the way of Sir Huang! ”

The officers and men of the 29th Division struggled to clear the way in front, and even used the butts of their rifles to mix in with the rebels on the river beach when they had no choice but to do so. Under the escort of Cao Fulin, Huang Haoran searched in the crowd for a long time, and finally saw Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen from a distance.

"Oops! It's the yellow sub-seat! Could it be that he has seen through our affairs? ”

In the end, he is a thief, Huang Haoran is obviously still a big distance away from Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen, and Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen messed up by themselves first!

"The commander said that Deputy Huang and Tang Enbo are not on the right track, and he also helped our 2nd Army many times when he was in Taierzhuang, if we tell the truth, Deputy Huang shouldn't blame us, right?"

The 27th Division once fought side by side with the troops of the 25th Group Army in Taierzhuang, and Huang Qiaosong also had a relationship with Huang Haoran, so his attitude was the first to loosen.

Zhang Zhen was worried that Huang Qiaosong would not admit himself, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and persuaded: "Brother Daoli! Don't be fooled! Huang Haoran is the general of the Central Army after all! It's not a glorious thing for us to pretend to be in chaos! It also hurt Huang Haoran's troops to break off for us! With these two points, we have to eat in prison! What's more, it's Li Xianzhou who we're pitting now! Town's men! When the time comes, Tang Enbo will definitely fall into the ground! Think again! Brother Daoli! Think twice......"

Zhang Zhen's words made Huang Qiaosong retreat, Huang Qiaosong looked at Huang Haoran who came over under the escort of the guards, and his heart was weak for a while!

Huang Qiaosong, formerly known as Huang Dequan, was born in 1901 in Houhuang Village, Caizhuang Township, Weishi County, Henan Province.

In 1924, Chief Feng joined forces with Hu Jingyi and Sun Yue to launch the "Beijing Coup". Huang Qiaosong was selected to be the commander of the Feng Commander's Guards Company, and Xuan was promoted to battalion commander. This year, Feng Yuxiang and Li Dequan got married, and out of respect, Huang Qiaosong changed his original name to Dequan to Qiaosong.

Subsequently, Huang Qiaosong participated in the Central Plains War with Chief Feng. After Commander Feng's defeat and escape, the remnants of the Northwest Army were incorporated into the 26th Route Army by the highest authority. Since then, Huang Qiaosong has become a member of the government army.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the officers and men of the 27th Division of the 26th Route Army stationed in Hubei were divided into stations from Xiaogan, Huayuan, and Guangshui to defend against the enemy on the front line in North China. Before leaving, the soldiers wrote farewell letters to their relatives with the determination to die on the battlefield. Huang Qiaosong, who was the commander of the 79th Brigade at the time, wrote a letter to his wife Wang Yifang: "This Huan waved his division to the north and will fight to the death with the Japanese!" If he doesn't die, I will die, and the last moment is today. ”

When Huang Qiaosong waved his army north, Beiping had already been lost, and Changxindian, Liangxiang and other places were also occupied by the Japanese army. In order to hinder the southward advance of the Japanese army along the Pinghan Road, Huang Qiaosong was ordered to lead the 79th Brigade as the vanguard and advance to the vicinity of Liangxiang. It persisted in the area of Liulihe for more than 40 days, and played a positive role in ensuring that friendly troops built fortifications in Zhuozhou and Baoding, as well as supporting the Nankou War of Resistance from the side and covering the reinforcements of the Wei Lihuang Army to Nankou.

In January 1938, Sun Lianzhong's division was transferred from Shanxi to Henan for reorganization, and Huang Qiaosong was promoted to the commander of the 27th Division.

Zhang Zhen, alias Yisan, is a native of Luoshan County, Henan. Graduated from Baoding Military Academy and Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School, he was Cheng Qian's old subordinate and had participated in the war against the highest authorities.

After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Zhang Zhen became the commander of the supplementary second division formed by the 46th Independent Brigade and five new battalions in northern Henan, and led his troops to participate in the War of Resistance against Japan

In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the 110th Division was responsible for the defense of 15 kilometers from the Wannian Gate to the south bank of the Hanzhuang Canal. In order to strengthen the morale of the army and expand its influence, Zhang Zhen ordered the logistics department to specially make an armband with the word "wing" and wear it on the left arm. The word "wing" is taken from Zhang Zhen's word "wing three". Therefore. People refer to the 110th Division as the "Wing Army".

It is precisely because Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen are both patriotic generals. Therefore, when they saw Huang Haoran, the deputy commander of the theater who took good care of the enemy's 2nd Army, was in a dilemma because of their private revenge on Tang Enbo's army, they felt very guilty in their hearts!

If there is a choice, Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen would rather not meet Huang Haoran!

But God didn't live up to Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen's wishes, and a few minutes later, Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen saw Huang Haoran sweating profusely.

***************************************************

Even if there are guards to open the way, it is by no means easy to break a way out of tens of thousands of troops. The sweat on Huang Haoran's body was all squeezed out of the pile, but fortunately, it was the end of May, and the sun was like fire, so he didn't have to worry about catching a cold.

"Daoli! Wing Three! I didn't expect you guys to get together! I'm worried I'll have to walk through this pile twice to find you both! ”

Huang Haoran directly called out the words of Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen, which made Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen feel a little surprised.

"Bench! How did you get to this chaos? These unformed troops are very dangerous! Come! Hurry up and escort Huang to a safe place! ”

Huang Qiaosong really didn't know how to speak, so he could only express it on his behalf, Huang Haoran noticed the unnaturalness in Huang Qiaosong, but he didn't think about this chaos.

Huang Haoran said loudly to Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen: "Danger? Could it be more dangerous than the Japanese? They are all soldiers of their own country! You don't shoot me cold, do you? ”

As if he was annotating Huang Haoran's words, a rapid gunfire suddenly sounded on the dock in the distance! Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen glanced at each other quickly, and then hurriedly pretended not to know what was going on. In fact, the troops who fired the shots were the 27th and 110th divisions under the command of Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen, and Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen had already had a secret order! If the other troops plan to seize the docks by force, then immediately start a counterattack!

The gunfire just now should be that the officers of the other armies were anxious and led their soldiers to storm the docks under the control of the 27th and 110th Divisions, but they were shot!

"Bench! It's really dangerous here! You listen! Shot again! Losing formed troops is not much better than bandits! If you have any three strengths and two weaknesses, Master Huang and I will not be able to atone for our sins ten times! Let's go! Or! I'll have you taken to the docks! ”

What Zhang Zhen said is both true and false! The real part is the second half, Zhang Zhen really wants Huang Haoran to cross the river, and he is willing to send someone to send Huang Haoran to cross the river; The fake part is the first half, because the 27th Division and the 110th Division have already restored order, Huang Haoran staying here is not in any danger at all, it just makes Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen feel uncomfortable.

"I'm not leaving! To cross the river, let's cross the river together! It's not a good feeling to be a bare-bones commander! A pawn crossing the river can kill me! Tsusan was in such a hurry to send me across the river, didn't he already have a few pawns on the other side of the river? ”

It's not a funny joke! Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen gasped at the same time! They feel that Huang Haoran's words should have a deep meaning! If you think about it carefully, it's more like knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger!

In fact, Huang Haoran just made a joke casually, and the effect was not very good......

"Bench! If you have something to say, just say it! Tsubasa and I are not mixed people, we can understand ......"

Huang Qiaosong finally couldn't help but open his mouth, Huang Haoran was already vaguely aware of something at this time, and he decided to take advantage of Huang Qiaosong's confusion to scam something valuable.

"I think, let's talk about it first... Time is tight, we have to hurry up ......"

This is like grabbing Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen's pigtails! Huang Qiaosong was really fooled and told the real situation on the river beach!

After understanding these inside stories, Huang Haoran knew it in his heart......

"Daoli! Wing Three! Let me say what are you good about? Confused! Confused! We are fighting a national war with little Japan! It's the righteousness of the nation! What are you among Townsburgh? It's just a personal vendetta! If you want to say something, you can go to the Military Commission to fight a lawsuit! Why play with such tactics at such a critical moment? Are you worthy of these brothers who died on the riverbank?

Huang Haoran is really a little angry! Now it's a war of resistance! Why are the generals of the Republic of China still clinging to the same old ways as during the civil war! The later the troops on the river beach crossed the river, the greater the losses of Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army, as well as his own 87th Brigade, which was really wronged!

"Bench! We know it's wrong! Be willing to be punished! ”

Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen stood opposite Huang Haoran with their heads down, their faces a little red from shame.

"What is the punishment? Did it work? The priority is to cross the river! How many pier ferries did your two divisions control? Report it truthfully! ”

After that, Huang Haoran ordered Cao Fulin to take the remaining two brigades of the 29th Division to follow Huang Qiaosong and Zhang Zhen to take over most of the dock ferries from the 27th Division and the 110th Division, and then set up machine guns!

"All people can cross the river! Regardless of the number of troops! Mixed! The troops who are unwilling to cross the river like this find a place to restore the formation on their own! Then board the boat from the pier! Who dares to disrupt order! Don't blame our 25th Army for showing no mercy! “

After Cao Fulin finished announcing the rules, Xu Zilong immediately led Huang Haoran's guard regiment to block the entrance to the dock. The rebels on the river beach finally stopped the noise at gunpoint of the officers and men of the guard regiment, and soon people began to line up to cross the river!

Seeing that the situation had been restored, the experienced miscellaneous army generals hurriedly pulled their troops to the periphery to restore the formation. After the miscellaneous army dispersed like a tide, the two divisions of the Central Army were revealed like stones under the water, Li Xianzhou and another division commander of the Central Army hurriedly reorganized the team and restored the formation, and it took less than five hours before and after, and the original chaos on the river beach was replaced by order, in order to reduce the losses suffered by the troops in the air raid, Huang Haoran also concentrated all the anti-aircraft machine guns of various departments to protect the wharf and ferry.

By 17 o'clock on the afternoon of the 30th, most of the tens of thousands of Chinese troops blocking the mouth of Suixi had crossed. After that, Zhang Zizhong led the troops behind the palace to join Huang Haoran, and the Itagaki Division that followed saw the Chinese army slowly marching forward, fighting and retreating, always maintaining a battle formation and strict military discipline. Realizing that he could no longer continue to rob while the fire was burning, he took the initiative to retreat.

After crossing the river, Huang Haoran did not order his troops to speed up the march because of the danger. Whenever there were Japanese troops stationed in villages, Huang Haoran generally sent troops to surround and monitor the Japanese troops in the dark of night to cover the safe passage of the army; If it is discovered by the Japanese army, it will first attack the enemy, suppress the Japanese army with firepower, and wait for the safe passage of the army, and then withdraw from the battle in a timely manner.

During the march, Huang Haoran often led the guard regiment and Zhang Zizhong's pistol battalion to walk at the end of the army. As a high-ranking general like the deputy commander of the theater, he was able to walk at the end of the troops in the arduous and dangerous long-range breakthrough, which made the officers and soldiers very moved!

From Xuzhou to Xuchang, it is 500 kilometers away, all on foot. The hardships of the officers and men who fought continuously for more than three months and then marched long distances can be imagined. Huang Haoran shared weal and woe with the soldiers along the way, and never rode a horse.

Due to the long distance, many officers and soldiers had blisters on their feet and then trampled on them. It hurts as soon as it hits the ground. Huang Haoran saw that some soldiers were about to give up and continue to advance, so he ordered the team to stop, and then took off his shoes and socks and told the officers and soldiers to see how many blisters there were on his feet.

When the officers and soldiers saw that the soles of Huang Haoran's feet were full of blisters, Huang Haoran raised his feet and stepped on the ground hard, only to hear a thud, pus and blood splashing! The officers and soldiers watching took a breath!

Huang Haoran said lightly: "This is nothing! "Then put on your shoes and socks and stride! Since then, not a single officer or soldier has complained of being tired!

On June 1, Huang Haoran parted ways with Zhang Zizhong and others in Shangqiu, and went straight to Kaifeng with the 29th Division and the guards to transfer trains!

At this time, the Battle of Lanfeng commanded by Xue Yue had been going on for nearly a week, and the process was thrilling!
